"Good afternoon, Miss Rachel." Lucian smiled and called, although he had already guessed who the black-haired and blue-eyed lady beside Rachel was, he still asked politely, "I don't know who this beautiful lady is?"
Lucian first met Rachel at the Committee's discussion on pollution, and she still maintained her energetic style, with a friendly smile in her linen eyes: "This is my teacher, Ms. Isabella, I didn't expect to meet you, Mr. Evans, on this floor.
"Good afternoon, Ms. Isabella." As a man, Lucian took the lead in saying hello, "Congratulations on winning the wizard laurel and congratulations on raising your arcane level to level seven."
Out of the corner of Lucian's eye, he noticed that the arcane badge on Isabella's chest had turned into seven bright silver stars, and Rachel's arcane level had also been raised to level five.
Isabella, who was wearing a long black dress, smiled slightly and said, "Actually, I am preparing to visit you Evans during this time. Without your brainwave paper, Rachel and I would have been much less likely to win the crown, which strongly complemented our prerequisites, but I didn't expect to meet you here in advance."
Whether it was sincere thanks or pure politeness, at least Isabella's words made Lucian sound comfortable: "My thesis is just a supplement, and it is important enough to win the laurel or the research results of the two ladies. Hehe, I applied for an arcane research project from the Magic Research Council, and today I will take a look at the laboratory environment."
"Research project? I don't know what it is? I also applied for an arcane research project, which is an in-depth study of illusion research on the effects of electromagnetic waves and electric current stimulation of different parts of the brain. I was going to invite you to collaborate with us on this project, you have unique insights in the field of brain waves, but now it seems that it cannot be done." Isabella's smile was very standard, perfectly in line with the etiquette gesture, while asking with a slight curiosity.
The last sentence was her polite statement, she had enough ability and knowledge to complete this project, but she had no hatred with Lucian in the past, and she had no grudge recently.
It has been approved, and Lucian has nothing to hide, and said with a gentle smile: "I applied to the Magic Research Council for a project of the 'Atomic Research Institute', which mainly studies the properties of atoms themselves and why they exhibit periodic laws."
Rachel blinked, how was such a strange project, such a large and empty research direction, approved?
Her strong curiosity made her almost blurt out, but because the teacher was by her side, it was very rude for a student to suddenly interject, so she had to hold back.
"Atomic Research Institute?" Isabella's mouth opened slightly, repeating word by word, although she recognized each one, but after they were put together, she seemed to be a little confused.
Lucian was mentally prepared for their reaction, and explained casually: "This is an attempt by the council to research a new field, because no one knows what situation they will encounter or what phenomena they will find after stepping into this new field of arcane art. Failure' freedom."
Lucian said this passage with a grand sound, with the aura of an official spokesperson for the Magic Research Council.
"Wide time? A certain amount of subsidy?" Isabella always felt that something was wrong with this research project, and looked at Lucian with suspicious eyes.
Lucian laughed and said, "There must be a result that satisfies the committee within three years to continue."
"Three years?!" Rachel finally couldn't control it and blurted out. The arcane research project that his teacher applied for was only one year old, and the subsidy given by the council was determined by the research progress and situation.
Even Isabella, a well-informed high-level arcanist, couldn't help but frown: "How can the research committee ensure that the subsidy investment and magic laboratory transformation of the past three years will not be wasted?"
She almost said how to ensure that arcanists do not apply for a new field without writing about it - anyway, there is no need for a complete plan and argumentation, and how to ensure that fund fraud under this form of research organization is not rampant!
"Therefore, the form of the institute is only for arcanists who have made outstanding contributions in this field, and their ability to conduct research in this area must be reviewed, and at the same time, an authoritative arcanist in the field must give an evaluation opinion." Lucian spoke without any shame, "If we really fail continuously, it is also a necessary tuition fee for exploration and research in this field, after all, we are crossing the river by feeling the stones."
When they thought of the elegant gentleman in front of him standing behind the storm lord, Isabella and Rachel were not confused by his words, and couldn't help but say in their hearts: "What a good way to cheat funds! His talent in this area can be compared to his arcane talent!"
Thinking of her poor arcane research project, Isabella smiled more politely and changed the subject without a trace: "This is indeed a beneficial attempt. Speaking of trying, I saw Evans at Drummond, and your paper actually solved a problem that puzzled several great arcanists. To be honest, when I first saw those two papers, I couldn't think of how to unify the formulas from two different angles, and I didn't even consider ignoring any actual arcane meaning and simply piecing it together with mathematical methods."
"Congratulations, you will have many times more chances to be 'nagged' by magicians than I do in the future."
"The tragic thing is that I'm still worried about the meaning behind the formula." Lucian told a white lie.
And Isabella's attention was not on this, and the two were not familiar with each other, so they exchanged a few pleasantries and then took their leave.
"Is she Ms. Isabella?" During the time she was working in the Magician Management Department, the female high-level magician she heard the most was Isabella, and she also "lived up to expectations" to win the crown, "Elegant, intellectual, beautiful, dignified, smart, powerful, I really hope to be a lady like her."
Lucian smiled and said: "Then work hard, if you don't work hard, there will never be hope."
…………
July 30, early morning.
「…… Happy birthday, Natasha." Lucian put down the quill and put the envelope he sent to Natasha, which was still filled with trivia and musical discussions, but included a piano sketch adapted from a birthday song as a birthday present.
After doing all this, Lucian put the letter in his pocket and went to the restaurant for breakfast.
Splinter, Katrina, Annick, Heidi and other magic apprentices and Lazar were already waiting in the restaurant, except for Cheri, who was still studying at the magic school, all of whom quit their jobs and began preparing for the "Atomic Institute", which will officially launch in a few days.
"Lucian, Lucian! This issue of "Arcane" has been released ahead of schedule!" As soon as Lucian sat down, a young man with messy hair rushed in, holding the "Arcane" with a dark black cover in his hand, "And in this issue of "Arcane", the five great arcanists wrote papers around your formula, analyzing the laws behind it, plus your thesis is an imperfect formula to solve the other two great arcanists, and the papers of the seven great arcanists are all centered on your papers! Tsk tsk, this is something that has never happened before! It's more exaggerated than the previous issue focused on Ms. Isabella's paper!"
The one who spoke was Lucian and Lazar's friend, Roque, a teacher at Douglas School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
After the application of the Atomic Research Institute was approved, Lucian sent invitations to his friends in turn, asking them to be his assistants. Given the generous treatment, superior conditions, and the ability to exist for another three years, Roque and Jerome agreed to come without hesitation, which was the most important three years for them to hit the middle level.
Lazar was first happy that the two friends were working with him, and then joked that he regretted why Lucian didn't hire a beautiful magician.
As for the intermediate arcanist, Lucian has not found a satisfactory one, to this level of elemental mage, as long as he has the corresponding arcane research ability, he can learn from the teacher or serve as an assistant, and better yet, he conducts important arcane or magic research by himself, as well as adventure exploration outside, few people do nothing, such as K, Larry, Timothy, Ulysses, etc. have politely declined Lucian's invitation.
However, Lucian's compulsory task has to wait until next year, and he is not in a hurry to recruit, anyway, he has his own preside.
Roque's exaggerated tone and description aroused the intense curiosity of Lazar, Heidi, and others, who all stood up and asked, "What thesis? What paper did Mr. Evans (Lucian) have?"
The papers of the seven great arcanists are actually related to him?!
"It's a paper on black body radiation, and he solves the formula problem that neither the two great arcanists can perfect!" Roque was still excited because of the situation he had never seen before, the seven great arcanists, when they met Lucian more than two years ago, they never thought of such a day.
"Really? Really?" The apprentices surrounded Roque like a flock of chirping birds, stretching their necks and trying to look at the text on it - although the content was incomprehensible, the signature of the paper was always recognized.
Lazar was "rejected" by them, and reluctantly spread his hands at Lucian: "Why don't you tell me what it is?"
The excitement lasted for a while before the apprentices looked at Lucian proudly and proudly, the teacher was amazing!
Roque and Lazar already frowned: "Why can't you explain it? Lucian, what is the law hidden in your formula?"
They roughly browsed the analysis of the five great arcanists, although they didn't believe that they had the ability to deal with this problem, but they always held a glimmer of hope, maybe when they would be favored by fate, suddenly have a flash of inspiration, like Lucian, solve the problems of the great arcanists?
So they gradually thought deeply, and the more they thought, the more they felt that no matter which angle they put it on, they could not explain Lucian's formula.
"If I had known, I would have written a paper and submitted it." Lucian told white lies again.
Enen, the two nodded as they fell into deep thought again, until Lucian finished breakfast and was about to leave, Lazar asked curiously: "Lucian, you have studied for so long, you should have a new direction, right? Don't worry, I'm just curious, I always feel unwilling to solve this mystery, and I won't write a paper."
"We are considering starting from the perspective of a new theory of thermodynamic molecular motion." Lucian replied lightly, sighing softly in his heart.
At the headquarters of "Arcane", after listening to his subordinate's report on the completion of the journal's launch, Drummond fell into deep thought, the seven great arcanists had never written a paper on a non-sensational issue at the same time.
This made him feel a faint uneasiness.
Is there any secret hidden behind this formula?
